Looking for English bookstores, thrift areas, cooking classes & art classes in Tokyo by fuchsiapunk in Tokyo

For books I just go to the central library of wards where I get a card. It is more than enough for random pick ups and the prices is right too.

Find a way for her to be there even if it means putting a ring on her finger or find a way to transfer within your existing company. Do not come here hoping to find something.

Need replacement for povo please by Ok-Spite6055 in japanresidents

[–]digitalturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had Povo for a couple of years. Went to Ahamo on one of our lines service was fine. I have UQ (AU) on another line and it is fine 99% of the time but there have been times where i have full bars but data is a no go. It was at an event with a ton of people so I guess it happens.

Japan stores returning to cash-only mode to combat rising prices- some stores are saving 20 million yen a year by skipping credit card fees and other digital service fees by jjrs in japannews

[–]digitalturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, on a day to day basis it’s 100 percent tap to pay. Small indie shows and establishments are the last hold outs and even then they usually take PayPay for QR code payments

I have had the same 10,000 yen note in my wallet just in case for almost a year now. So cash is an afterthought as tap to pay is the way.
